The mighty oak grows strong and tall
The leaves reach for the sky
Like matchsticks when the lightning strikes
They burn and quickly die
One hundred years of shadows
Have locked the sun away
It's A Time for New Beginnings
A flower grows today.
The monuments of steel and stone
They cannot hold our fate
They crumble like a house of cards
From missiles armed with hate
A young man's dreams are far too strong
His spirit can't be killed
It's a Time for New Beginnings
In our new world to rebuild.
We can use our voice to change the world
There is magic in our words
We can touch the earth we can watch the birds
In silence, yet be heard
Mothers teach your children
To walk barefoot on the land
It's a Time for New Beginnings
In a cosmic sort of plan
And now you look into my eyes
And everything's so clear
We're a moment lost in time somewhere
A second or a year
But we don't really matter
As we go our separate ways
It's a Time for New Beginnings
As we shape a better day.
Ten thousand oaks lay on the ground
Spring is in the air
Children play on sunny days
There’s stardust everywhere
And everybody did their part
And everyone survived
It's a Time for New Beginnings
A time to be alive.
